Britain's Andy Green sets another speed record, this time in a hydrogen-powered car
- British driver Andy Green reached a speed of 406.320 mph (653.908 kph) in a hydrogen-powered car.
- The record was set at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, using two hydrogen internal combustion engines.
- Green's vehicle was engineered by British construction equipment manufacturer JCB and has a combined 1,600 horsepower.
- This record surpasses the previous hydrogen combustion world record of 185.5 mph (298.5 kph).
- Green aims to showcase hydrogen power as a viable fuel for the future.
British driver Andy Green set a new world record for a hydrogen-powered vehicle by reaching a speed of 406.320 mph (653.908 kph) at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. The record was achieved using two hydrogen internal combustion engines with a combined output of 1,600 horsepower, engineered by JCB.
This achievement surpasses the previous hydrogen combustion world record of 185.5 mph (298.5 kph) and highlights the potential of hydrogen power in the automotive industry. Green, a retired Royal Air Force pilot, emphasized the importance of showcasing this technology as a viable alternative fuel.
Green's record-setting run reflects ongoing developments in hydrogen technology, which many believe could play a significant role in decarbonizing various sectors of the economy. However, challenges such as the cost of hydrogen production remain a barrier to wider adoption.
英国车手安迪·格林在氢动力汽车中创下新速度纪录
英国车手安迪·格林在犹他州的博纳维尔盐滩上创下了氢动力汽车的新世界纪录，达到了406.320英里每小时（653.908公里每小时）的速度。该纪录是使用了两台总功率为1600马力的氢内燃机，由JCB设计的。
这一成就超越了之前氢燃烧世界纪录185.5英里每小时（298.5公里每小时），突显了氢能在汽车行业的潜力。格林，这位退役的皇家空军飞行员，强调展示这一技术作为可行替代燃料的重要性。
格林的创纪录之跑反映了氢技术的持续发展，许多人认为这可能在各个经济领域的脱碳中发挥重要作用。然而，氢生产成本等挑战仍然是广泛采用的障碍。
